Test Cases Generation: Approach to Reduce the Complexity to Analyze the Code: Simplifying test case generation and analysis in software development

Abstract

Theshorter life-cycle of software development, such as the one suggested by theagile programming discipline, also imposes restrictions and constraints on howregression testing can be performed within limited resources. Naturally, themost straightforward approach to this problem is to simply execute all theexisting test cases in the test suite; this is called a retest-all approach.However, as software evolves, the test suite tends to grow, which means it maybe prohibitively expensive to execute the entire test suite.
